Instructions

Layer the ingredients into a 5–6 quart slow cooker in the following order: salted peanuts, semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, chopped German chocolate, and almond bark on top.
Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours. Do not stir during this time.
After 2 hours, remove the lid and stir the mixture thoroughly until fully combined and smooth.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the candy onto parchment or wax paper.
Quickly decorate with sprinkles if using, before the candy sets.
Let the candy cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate to speed up the process.
Once hardened, store in airtight containers or festive tins for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Use quality chocolate for better flavor and texture.
Do not stir during the first 2 hours of cooking—let the chocolate melt evenly.
Layering the ingredients properly helps avoid burning the chocolate.
Store in a cool place or freeze for longer shelf life.
